As the 300 is very sharp I haven't particularly noticed that the 800 is sharper. Obviously if you end up cropping a like for like image the 800 has more resolution (pixels) to go at but that's a different thing. I got the 800 for resolution when I need it and better ISO when I need it, sharpness was not even a consideration. I'm happy with my workflow as I get sharp images off all my cameras.Thom Hogan covered this whole thing in an article which I can't seem to find at the moment where he said that the 12mp cameras lured us into a strange sense of perceived sharpness as it was a bit of a sweet spot.</blockquote>
